I used to always work as administrator. Now I have created
a limited access account so I want to change the ownership
for a working directory with files and subdirectories to the
limited account. How do I do this?

According to Help, I should do this:
Windows Explorer -> locate folder -> Properties -> Security
-> Advanced -> Owner -> Click "subcontainer ..." check box
click new owner

My problem is that my limited access account is not among
the accounts I can select.

How can I change owner?
Thanks for any help.
